The one thing I have noticed is that a lot of furniture stores are going out of business. I guess people are holding on to their furniture a little bit longer.

In the past year we lost a Redners Supermarket (because Wegman's had opened up across the street several years prior) and a Quizznos that wasn't in a great location. Other than that, it seems to be build, build, build. In the past year or so we've had a hotel, several chain restaurants, and several chain stores build/open new locations. There's even a new local diner that seems to be doing very well.

Our suburb is adjacent to another in such a way that it seems like one town with a combined population of about 45-50K. Here we have seen Quiznos sub shop, Office Depot, a small grocery, and a few small restaurants close within the last year. On the other hand, a new Shell gas station, IHOP restaurant, Culver's Burgers, a few small restaurants and a large grocery have opened in that time. We also had a very large auto auction relocate to our town. Our Starbuck's and Blockbuster are still open. I have heard rumors several times in the last six months that another grocery will build a new building, that Best Buy will be moving into town, and that the Sam's Club a few miles up the road will relocate to our area.
